Synopsis (short abstract) Viet Nam is hit by up to six tropical cyclones every year. The strong winds and extreme flooding induced by a tropical cyclone may have a devastating impact on the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable populations. The Anticipatory Action Protocol for typhoon and tropical cyclone-induced flooding aims to guide the government and partners to systematically monitor the likely impact of the hazard and use forecast information to trigger specific anticipatory actions, which are designed to safeguard lives and livelihoods.

    Scaling up Anticipatory Action across Southeast Asia

    Over the past five years, capacities for Anticipatory Action (AA) systems for drought have been built across several countries in Southeast Asia. Such AA systems have been created in close collaboration between the national governments and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). These rely on a Combined Drought Index model to signal the looming threat of dry conditions on agriculture production, serving as a guide for initiating AA. El Niño was declared in July 2023 and is projected to last until April 2024, with ENSO-neutral conditions becoming the most likely category in May-July 2024. Historically, El Niño has been associated with erratic rainfall patterns and heightened temperatures, elevating the risk of drought in the sub region. In March 2024, the Combined Drought Index in Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Lao People’s Democratic Republic reached the activation threshold and the triggering of drought AA was confirmed after field verification. This brief provides an overview of these alerts and urges government bodies and partners to intensify anticipatory action efforts for protecting livelihoods, water security and food security, particularly in vulnerable hot-spots across the four countries.

    The arid region in Pakistan is prone to agricultural droughts. A shorter than usual wet season and below-average rainfall during the season may easily result in a dire situation for the rural population. The Anticipatory Action Protocol for agricultural drought aims to guide the government and partners to systematically monitor the likely impact of the hazard and use forecast information to trigger specific anticipatory actions, which are designed to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
